Did you free hand it or create a jig worthy of Norm Abram?

OH HELL NO!!!! Personally I don't think it would be a good system to use on a viewing surface. Only reason I did this to the edges to to get rid of the sanded rough surface so that the silicone would bond properly.

Norm Abram is a "Master Carpenter" that makes a Jig for everything you possibly could make a jig for.

Looks really good, Alot of time involved

I'm happy my tank was bevel edge and polished at factory including the weir for the over flow

I really can't go wrong with having to do this for my own satisfaction considering I only paid a fraction of what I should have.
